Here is the route I followed which is well marked with yellow arrows.  Los amigos del Camino have done a great job in marking the route and selecting paths which are much more varied than I expected.  They often take the pilgrim high above the coast and through beautiful forests or along old roman roads.

There is a fair bit of tarmac because the coast is fairly built up in places but the camino usually follows quiet roads and on this part north of Porto there are no long stretches of main road, unlike the Camino Portuguese before Porto.

There is good accomodation along the way although it did not always coincide, for me, with the distances I was walking each day.  The most comprehensive and up to date information on this camino is to be found on the page of Luis who is constantly revising details.  More on Luis when I write a post about my arrival in Vigo.
